I guess I'm remiss in not engaging him in a philosophical discussion of his intentions so that I could properly enlighten you. I was concerned for my own safety at that point and did what I thought was the right thing...diffuse any altercation by leaving. Afterall, it's not like I wanted his little space on the sidewalk. If it happens again, I'll make sure to wait around and ask. That's the smart thing for a person who chooses to live unarmed to do.

 

He has a gun, you better not run into him next time because he has every right to show his weapon to an innocent woman who had zero bad intentions whatsoever.

 

:lol:

Well, he didn't pull the gun out, he started to, but I get your point. Yes, if RM was packing, she would have had the right to pull her weapon in my eyes. The way I see it though, both would have likely had enough training and nothing would have happened. How else can you explain for the fact that there has really been no problem from people with CC?

 

As to your last question, why would you think they would? It's a protest, not a militia death squad.

So in "your eyes" is the solution for most issues to pull your weapon? :idunno:

He's already said "Better to be judged by 12...."

 

:lol: I'll stick with my philosophy....It's better to live trusting your fellow man and experience a rare misplacement of that trust, than live in fear and mistrust of everyone you have never met. :lol:

I know enough. Even considering pulling a gun on someone who accidentally bumped into you is inexcusable.

Hope you never end up on a jury.

Is there a reason you're asking such a silly question. You always come to such bizarre conclusions based on one scenario? :idunno:

Wow, talk about wild accusations. :lol:

I haven't read much of this thread so I'm going to speculate that its filled with "he's a law abiding citizen" "no need for guns at a rally" "Obama hates guns" "gun owners are dangerous" etc.

 

To me its a simple statement the guy was making. The assault rifle was this guy's version of telling the POTUS "child please." If you saw Hard Knocks you'll know what the guy was really saying.

 

It was purely a sign of disrespect to the POTUS.

But you're willing to dismiss his doing what he thought was the right thing until he saw you and realized you were no threat. I see how it works now....

:lol:

Why is it that you aren't grasping that initially he didn't know she was a woman or who it was or what their intentions were?

Hope you never end up on a jury.

 

I could say the same to you... :eek:

 

This is my opinion based on a story that was told to me by a fellow BGP'er. A pretty significant difference between that, and being on a jury. Don't ya think?

Well then maybe if he has a weapon in which he plans on firing at the first chance, he should be paying more attention to his surroundings.

No. I'm amazed that you don't seem to care that there are two sides to every story. You only heard one side and have made up your mind, that's not a very fair way of looking at the situation, yet you seem to be fine with that. I'd guess most people on trial would prefer the jury members would listen to both sides before making up their mind, the whole little innocent until proven guilty thing.

Yet you just explained in another thread how easy it would be to have your gun taken from you in your own home. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm saying when you draw a weapon there are risks that come with that. Is that not true?

 

Or, maybe the idiot shouldn't start to draw his weapon on an innocent woman who accidentally bumped into him.
